Formation of transformation products during ozonation of secondary wastewater effluent and their fate in post-treatment: From laboratory-to full-scale

Ozonation is increasingly applied in water and wastewater treatment for the abatement of micropollutants (MPs). However, the transformation products formed during ozonation (OTPs) and their fate in biological or sorptive post-treatments is largely unknown. ...

PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021

In this study, we examined the removal kinetics of two fluoroquinolones (FQs), flumequine (FLU) and ciprofloxacin (CIP), in synthetic wastewater (SWW) and real hospital wastewater (RHW) using FeOx thin films, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and visible light. Nano ...

E-coli-MS2 bacteriophage interactions during solar disinfection of wastewater and the subsequent post-irradiation period

César Pulgarin, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Stefanos Giannakis

In this study, the effect of MS2 bacteriophage on the inactivation of its Escherichia coli host was evaluated in an effort to recreate some the main factors governing solar disinfection of wastewater (namely microbial growth, infection, photonic flux). As ...

Influence of Wastewater Composition on the Microbial Communities of Aerobic Granular sludge

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aline Sondra Adler, Valérie Berclaz, Marie Christelle Horisberger, Eva Reynaert

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is an emerging technology offering an alternative wastewater treatment with a reduced footprint compared to conventional activated sludge systems. Basic understanding of AGS processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-sca ...

The effect of different organic substrates on the microbial communities of aerobic granular wastewater treatment sludge

Aline Sondra Adler

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is a promising alternative wastewater treatment to the conven- tional activated sludge system, allowing space and energy savings. This process is particularly suited for biological phosphorus removal, avoiding use of coagulant ...

Iron-coated polymer films with high antibacterial activity under indoor and outdoor light, prepared by different facile pre-treatment and deposition methods

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Ania Schärer

In the present work, we study the fabrication of self-cleaning antibacterial surfaces, active under indoor or outdoor light. In order to obtain the highest activity with the lowest complexity we assess mild conditions of preparation (temperatures), pre-tre ...

Role of microbial cell properties on bacterial pathogen and coliphage removal in biochar-modified stormwater biofilters

Stormwater biofilters are distributed stormwater control measures for managing urban runoff. Recent work has shown that adding biochar to biofilters can reduce stormwater contaminant concentrations, including fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). However, the po ...

The spatial impact of socio-technical transitions – The case of phosphorus recycling as a pilot of the circular economy

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Socio-technical innovations for the recovery of phosphorus (P) from sewage sludge (ashes) and the recycling of the secondary material in the agri-food system have been gaining prominent roles in current debates on circular economy. While research has been ...

Evolution of microbial communities in aerobic granular sludge during changes in wastewater composition

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Aline Sondra Adler, Valérie Berclaz, Marie Christelle Horisberger

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is an emerging technology offering an alternative wastewater treatment with a reduced footprint compared to conventional activated sludge systems. Basic understanding of AGS has mainly been obtained in lab-scale reactors fed w ...
